'Entitlement Class' is a myth that elites love to create so as to cast aspersion on others while they rob citizens blind, just as those on the dole
are 'useless bums'.

Some may take advantage of the dole or social entitlements, BUT NOT ALL. Many of them appreciates such help and once they get back on their feet,
given opportunity to excel, counselled to stand up, etc, they CONTRIBUTED back to society.

No humans will accept charity unless they had lost dignity and confidence in themselves. What they want is a CHANCE just like everyone else, to have a
job, to live and to love. If SUCH ARE DENIED TO THEM, they no longer have nothing to lose and WILL FIGHT BACK!

Thus it is not the entitlement class that will riot, for it does not exists. It will be citizens left behind to rot, as in the case of the brits, that
will go bananas. Please tell Ron Paul and the GOP to get it right and make sure their weapons to kill and maim are aimed at their fantasy beings and
not REAL FELLOW HUMANS.

In fact, a shocking 49 percent of all babies born in the U.S. are born to families receiving food supplements from the WIC program, according to
Jean Daniel, spokesperson for the USDA.

Granted, the percentage would be much lower if 20 million illegals were sent home. If allowed to stay, they will still be living off the government
dole. And their children. And their children's children. All purposely arranged so that someday they can pull the democrat's voting lever.

When did people stop saying "social security programs" or "social welfare programs" and start calling them entitlements? I never heard that
before Obama was elected. Is this some new right-wing doublespeak to distract from the fact that the wealthy get their wealth from entitlements? I
mean property deeds, patents, daddy's will etc.

indeed... that was the purpose of creating a continuing Welfare Class... originated by Lyndon Johnsons War-on-Poverty & Great-Society BS...

the life choice many surrender to by accident or on purpose is to becaom a un-wed mother, baby machine... & get funds, food, WIC, and later developing
into free $4k handouts under the IRS program for Earned-Income-Credits for these same baby machines that spend the windfall on outrageous
things....instead of a trust fund for the youngsters

to the OP & others talking about Entitlements!

SS recipients, Pensioners, Veterans, etc have ]earned their checks... these are not 'entitlements' in the same way that Welfare Queens are
entitlements... the other recipients have paid for or else earned their benefits so don't lump old age or vets or disabled into the Free-Lunch paid
for by the citizenry category that the term 'Entitlements' implies.

the veterans and retired pensioners are in the same boat as FICA.... All have Earned their benefits, they are not gifts bestowed upon them by the
taxpayer

the elites want the public to see Vets, SSDI, old age, & pensioners as living on the taxpayers largesse,
so they can cut those payments in the sake of Austerity & budget deficts

but its a misdirection ploy by the elites... lets cut Congressional retirement before we ever cut SS, Veterans, pensions payouts as good for the
nations budget... these cads serve for 5 years & they are set for life with 5X the benefits a working stiff funded in weekly payroll dedudtions for 45
years will ever see in returns from their voluntary contributions

They started being called entitlements because people flipped when the programs were being considered for cuts. With the expansion of some of the
programs beyond there normal duration's lots of folks feel that they "deserve" them. It's really all fun and games till you run out of funding
and the government has only so much money they can redirect into these programs. Heaven forbid if that anybody just starts cutting back. But I guess
its all good when you have an x-box and cell phone

Well, pensions are the actual property of the public who paid into SS. They own that money, and all interest on it. They are as entitled to that money
as Reginald Q. Butthurt is entitled to his father's stock portfolio when the old man kicks it.

Well, I agree with one thing Ron Paul wants see, a much smaller government. The American government is the world's largest employer, and that, dear
friends, is too much government! I for one am getting tired of Federal Laws getting in the way of my fun, and I am real tired of government riding in
my car, residing in my home, and spying on everything I do. What in hell do they want, anyway?

Our Forefathers wanted small, mostly powerless government, people who are elected to do the business of running our Nation and defending our shores
and skies. I'm sorry, but it does not take half a million people to do this job. GWB made law, that is, "Law by Edict," that gave 90% of the
power supposed to be separated by Separation of Powers, to the Executive Branch, now the President can order both the Congress and the Supreme
Court to do his bidding, and that, people, constitutes a Dictatorship, in the same vein as Hitler and Mussolini. Only one thing remains to
complete this Fourth Reich, Take our guns away. Once we give up out 2nd Amendment and give over our weapons, all that is left is the crying. think
about it.

Wasn't the right the ones that said that the left was calling for class warfare? And here we have a right wing politician labeling people and trying
to incite them to riot. What, does he want a police state or something? Betcha dollars to doughnuts this guy will put in legislation targeting the
poor for harsher treatment in courts.

Then why the push for green vehicles?? Gas taxes pay for those repairs!! Heard that argument and raise you one! It"s the politicians that loot
funding's from things like SS to pay for their new great idea. It's our dear politician's who rob Peter to pay Paul that shortchanges our system.
That being said the reliance on our gov't leaders that has a proven track record of misappropiating funds that is comical.

What happens when our roads are no longer passable; the bridges don’t work; the highways are broken; mass transit dies; the energy grid bottoms out;
the reservoirs go bad; the lights go out; the police and firemen stop working; the hospitals close;

all local and state issues they are not federal or do you just want more union bailouts that take decades to plan and build?

thats what the first stimulus was dont see any roads or bridges built.

for far too long in this country taxes are taken from one state and giving to another and get no benifit from it and that has been rinsed and repeated
to infinity.

no man you want a better road go get a shove and fill in the hole you want electricity? go fly a kite and tie a key to then of it and mass transit
yeah "go european" where this is AMERICA and the car or truck or suv is king.
